Staff report presented by Allen Brock, Plan Check Manager.
Mayor Alexander opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the City Council was:
George Georgiou commented on the proposed code amendments as they relate to the Building
Board of Appeals. He felt the City was violating various other codes if they approve the
amendments as submitted. He did not agree the Board should be reduced to three members. He
also questioned the standards or guidelines that are handed out at City Hall.
There being no further response, the public hearing was closed.
Bill Makshanoff, Building Official, stated it is true that in the current Ordinance we have language that sets
up a five member board. He stated setting the numberof members is up to the City Council. He personally
felt a three member board would be sufficient as was the case in the City he worked at prior to Rancho
Cucamonga. He suggested there be a licensed architect, civil engineer and licensed state contractor who
have the experience and expertise to serve on this Board. He stated the actual Board could establish in their
by-laws the time period for filing an appeal. He stated the City does have a standard block wall design that
anyone can use or someone can submit their own plans and have them approved by Building and Safety
in order to be issued a permit.
Councilmember Williams asked how many appeals we have had in a years time period.
